Fall Season...

For most people, it's the fall or autumn season. Unfortunately for us and so many others, it's death season. Leo passed away 16 days ago, on Monday October 23, 2006. He always was the leader of the pack, we just wish he wasn't in this one:
  • David Tice, 26 years old: Tuesday October 24, 2006, died (DIPG).
  • Paul Leverett, 47 years old: Saturday, October 28, 2006, died (necrosis from radiation for GBM).
  • Hannah Hatlen, 5 years old: Tuesday October 31, 2006, died (brain stem glioma).
  • Katya Polishchuk, 5 years old: Wednesday, November 1, 2006, died (DIPG).

I'm sure I missed others and I'm not purposely omitting anyone, but this isn't exactly the type of list where someone would actually want to be included.

Reading about each of these deaths, particularly the young ones', was like reliving Leo's passing. Leo, Hannah, and Katya seemed to have similar endings to similarly short, sweet, innocent lives. Leo's passing was our own personal holocaust.

Yury--

It's Chipo here in Liberia. Craig Curtin told me of Leo's death. I cannot imagine the pain you all have experienced, but please be sure that as you continue to honor Leo's life and come to grips with his physical absence from your life, his love will replace the pain.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My Mum who was experiencing weight gain, hair loss and acne, bouts of chest and abdominal pain and several months of unrelenting headaches that no medicine could relieve, In fact, it got worse. saw various doctors they decided that the lab levels indicated nothing much at all, until we met a Doc. who did CT scan, and she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. So after one year, A surgeon advice was to remove her tumor, along with her left kidney. she needed to see someone with extensive experience in treating adrenal gland tumors for the next phase of her treatment. Knowing she needed to get an answer once and for all, we looked up on the internet and saw someone who testified about Aryan herbal medicine which she took and she had no more symptoms since then.
